Edinburgh Cathedral Pilgrimage in a Day: Rosslyn Chapel to St Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh – 10 miles, 1 day

Perhaps one of the most famous churches in Scotland is the mysteriously powerful Rosslyn Chapel. In addition to being a beautiful 15th century building in its own right, the Chapel is at the centre of many stories surrounding Freemasonry and the Holy Grail.

If you choose to make this one-day pilgrimage, allow the iconography and the legends surrounding this holy place to inspire you, as you make your way towards the heart of Scotland’s capital. Round Craigmillar castle, climb Arthur’s Seat, and find your way to Holyrood, before pressing on to the day’s end at St Mary’s Cathedral.

Discover holy places, and bring your own beliefs.

Pilgrimage by foot is connected with places and landscape, and how those places make you feel. Read about holy places.

At the British Pilgrimage Trust, we believe a pilgrimage should be made on an individual’s own terms. We are founded on the principle that we can all bring our own beliefs to the journey, accessible and welcoming to all.
